Walter Rauschenbusch and The Kingdom of God

Rauschenbusch applied the teachings of Jesus and the Hebrew Prophets to the crying social issues of his day. He saw child labor and economic disparity as terrible social ills which he felt should be addressed by the church. Rauschenbusch wrote that "whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus."His message concerning the Kingdom of God is particularly relevant to the church's challenges for the twenty-first century.

"Walter Rauschenbusch's prophetic words and mission have come alive for a new audience thanks to Al Staggs' stagecraft."

-Paul B. Raushenbush, Associate Dean of Religious Life Princeton University and great-grandson of Walter Rauschenbusch
